If that scenario plays out, we don’t sniff the playoffs.

LSU has ugly losses. Will they jump us in and keep the other 2 sec teams out?
Please explain how a loss to a potential 8-4 FSU team with losses to Clemson and maybe Syracuse in our opening game on a blocked kick against them in our opener against them in their second game with wins over Alabama and Georgia in the last month of the season constitutes enough "ugly" to keep us out of the playoff.

Not so fast. UGA would be in, Ohio St. (or Mich) would be in, TCU is in if they win out (not sure if anyone has actually looked at their SOS), and......LSU would get the nod over Oregon. Lots of fans around the country would be mad and the SEC bias would be talked about to no end.
However, the committee has a history of using whatever narrative they want to justify putting in teams they want. Sometimes it's the "best" four, other times it's the "most deserving" four. It's even been a time when it came down to "who was playing the best football right now).
Although LSU would have 2 losses, the committee would justify their decision by stating that they "just thought" LSU was better because LSU beat UGA...who beat Oregon by 46. You beat Bama and UGA in the same year AND win the SEC, LSU would definitely get in. The committee would just brace/expect the blowback and hope LSU does well in the playoffs to further confirm their decision.
This really isn't all that different from the BCS, just that there's 4 teams instead of 2.

So who are they putting in over LSU?
You're answer better be Big Ten Champ, TCU, Oregon, and UGA.
Even then, it's ridiculous to think that LSU gets left out with what would inevitably be 3 wins against Top 15 teams, with the best win of anyone over #1 UGA.
If they leave LSU out because of the loss to Tennessee, it just shows they care more about losses than wins, which is why you will continue to see mostly shitty non-conference games because playing good teams isn't worth the risk of a loss.
